A closed rectangular box with a sqaure

Mathematics
1 answer:
deff fn [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  4 inches on each edge of the cube

Step-by-step explanation:

A closed box will have minimum area when it is a cube. For a volume of 64 in^3, the edge length must be ∛64 = 4 inches.

_____

Using derivatives, the base edge length can be defined as x, and the surface area as ...

  S = 2x^2 + 4x(64/x^2)

This is minimized when dS/dx = 0:

  dS/dx =- 4x -256/x^2 = 0

  x^3 = 64

  x = ∛64 = 4 . . . . . should look familiar

The price of an item yesterday was $60. Today, the price fell to $42. Find the percentage decrease.
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

-30% or 30% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

What's percentage decrease?

  • Percent decrease is the difference between the initial value and new value, indicating a loss of value.
  • The formula to find percent decrease is \frac{NV-IV}{IV} * 100, where NV = new value and IV = initial value.

How do we solve this problem?

  • We know that the original value was $60, so that represents IV. Also, now that the price is $42, it represents NV.
  • Now, we plug in the values!
  • \frac{42-60}{60} * 100
  • \frac{-18}{60} * 100
  • -\frac{3}{10} * 100
  • -3 * 10
  • -30

Therefore, the answer is 30% decrease.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of parallel lines are the same. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other, hence their product is -1.

___

For the most part, the concept of adding slopes of lines does not relate to parallel or perpendicular lines in any way.
